First, use a magnet to get the iron nails out because iron is a magnetic material and will be attracted to the magnet.
Now what you have left is the water and oil. Fortunately, oil is less dense than oil and it will float on top of the water. Use a separating funnel to tap the water out from the bottom and collect it in a container. You can also use a spoon to get the oil out from a container which contains the oil and water since oil floats on the surface.

Will iron nails inside a steel container filled with oil be attracted to a magnet which is outside the steel container?
No,because the oil is to thick so the magnetism is very weak so the iron nails won't be attracted
How we can separate oil from water?
Allow the mixture to sit until the oil and water have separated. Then pour off the oil.
How do oil and water separate?
Oil and water separate because oil will float to the top and water will sink to the bottom. The reason oil wil float to the top because oil is non polar while water is compound polar. Separation by decantation and filtration.Separation by decantation and filtration.
How would you separate oil and water into their components?
A mixture of oil and water is heterogeneous. Oil naturally separates from water and they can be separated by skimming the surface off the water.
What method will use to saprate oil and water?
oil and water will naturally separate over time because oil is less dense than water
Why nails that have oil don't rust?
because the corrosion of iron ( rust ) requires water and oxygen the oil prevents oxygen from coming into contact with the nail

How would you separate oil from water?
Oil naturally separates from water and then may be skimmed off the top. For further purification, heating the oil allows the remaining water to evaporate.
When water and oil are mixed and they separate which one separates to the top?
oil
When you combine water and vegetable oil together why do they separate?
Because the oil is less dense then the water.
How does motor oil effcet water?
Motor oil is insoluble in water and it is denser in water. Therefore, motor oil will not mix with water. It will remain separate.
